Just 4 weeks after the events of 3/11 in Japan, the worldwide PechaKucha community came together to "Inspire Japan." Over $85,000 was raised for Architecture for Humanity and ArchiAid during a non-stop 24-hour PechaKucha event that circled the globe.

ArchiAid was formed soon after the devastating events of 3/11 in Japan. Many of Japan's leading architects joined forces with students of architecture to help design and rebuild some of the hardest hit coastal areas.

"Powered by PechaKucha" events are one-off events that are separate from regular city-based PechaKucha Nights, and that are usually held as part of festivals and conferences, but can also act as standalone events. These events include presentations that use the PechaKucha 20 images x 20 seconds format.

PechaKucha teamed up with 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT as part of the "Design Ah!" exhibition to produce two special events on March 23rd. One for kids, where they made and presented their 20x20s in an open workshop. The other for 'grown-ups' was part of Roppongi Art Night, and featured an inspiring lineup of design talent.

SuperDeluxe is the home of PKN in Tokyo -- and where the entire PechaKucha phenomenon started -- and at each event we get a presentation that runs through recent events held at the space, and previews what's coming up.

PechaKucha co-founder Mark Dytham gives a presentation about all of the global events that have helped bring the PK network together three times now, first for Haiti, then for Japan, and recently to celebrate each PK city. This presentation is in English.

SuperDeluxe's Ryu Konno does his monthly round-up of events that were held recently at SLDX, and what's coming up over the next few weeks. And as always, he starts out with a few images that cover some recent personal activities. (in Japanese)

In 2012, the French Institute in Tokyo organized the first edition of Digital Month, a festival designed to highlight French creativity in the fields of digital cultures and new images. This event reached a wide and diverse audience by presenting all aspects of digital creation, from contemporary art to moving images, architecture to video games, and also digital publishing, contemporary music and performing arts. After the success of this first 2012 edition, the French Institute of Japan reiterates the digital experience by organizing Digital Choc, the second edition of this festival, in February 2013.

Through the theme of "digital territories," the 2013 edition would like to explore areas that digital technologies has disrupted, influenced or revolutionized. Artworks proposed in this digital arts festival are to be presented in several cities in the French cultural network in Japan (5 institutes IFJ, 4 French Alliances), and partners (concert halls, shops, cinemas, galleries, etc.)

Jiří Vicherek is the organiser of our PKN series in Ostrava, and in his presentation (in Czech), he introduces the PechaKucha concept, and also talks about how PechaKucha Nights have evolved in Ostrava.

Samson Sylvain speaks on the Institut Français' 3rd annual "Digital Choc" event, which focuses on the intersection of French and Japanese contemporary art. The event features work in interactive media, projection mapping, laser and light, film, and video art and is open from February 21 to March 23, 2014. (in Japanese)

We're jumping for joy -- without a rabbit mask -- to the fact that Heraklion will be taking part in the PechaKucha Global Night on September 20, through the city's Vol. 4. Visit the official event page for more info, including the full list of presenters.

So what's the Global Hangout? On the night of the PechaKucha Global Night -- that would be Friday, September 20 -- events will be starting in New Zealand, and then for the next 20 hours or so we'll be going around the world, with new events starting in their local time zones.&nbsp;
The point of the Global Hangout is that we are using Google+ Hangouts on Air to connect with all of these events, as they are starting (for the most part), to have a video chat with our local PechaKucha Night organizers, to find out what's happening at their event -- and some organizers who weren't able to have an event on that night will be joining in too. So for a period of close to 20 hours, starting at 19:00 JST, you'll be able to watch a live stream of the Global Hangout -- you'll be able to do so from our Google+ page, or our YouTube page.
And please note, a Google+ account is not required to watch the Global Hangout stream.
So if you want to feel the pulse of what is happening during the PechaKucha Global Night on September 20, tune in to the Global Hangout, and follow the PechaKucha wave around the world!
